Learning By Farming (LBF) is a transformative initiative spearheaded by the POC of Agriculture, aligning with the overarching visionof enhancing food security. Through this program, we empower high school students by providing comprehensive training in tree planting and farming techniques. Additionally, we facilitate the planting of trees within their school premises, fostering a sense of ownership and connection between students and agricultural practices. Collaborating closely with the Regional Commission of the Education Ministry, we aim to extend this initiative to encompass 10 schools in its inaugural year, establishing a solid foundation for agricultural education and sustainable practices within educational institutions.

Problem Statement: High school students in the Saharan region lack comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience in sustainable agriculture, leading to increased vulnerability to food insecurity due to climate change-induced challenges.

Target Group: The primary beneficiaries are high school students in the Saharan region, aiming to equip 100 students (10 students per school) with skills and knowledge in sustainable agriculture to mitigate food security risks.

Proposed Solution: The LBF initiative focuses on comprehensive training in tree planting and farming techniques for high school students. It involves facilitating tree planting within school premises to instill a sense of ownership and connection to agricultural practices, fostering a resilient ecosystem.
